About me

The Therapist Who Accidentally Became a Renegade

I mastered the system. Then I realised it was broken.

Here's the thing - I was supposed to be a "normal" psychologist. I had my Masters in Behavioural Data Science from the University of Amsterdam (top 15 in psych, thank you very much), understood statistics better than most people understand their coffee order, and was all set to follow the traditional path.

Then my own life fell apart.

And the degree that was supposed to save me? It was completely useless.

When Your Own Degree Can't Save You

Picture this: me in my early twenties, panic attacks hitting like freight trains, stuck in a relationship that made me feel like I was disappearing, having friendship breakdowns that felt more traumatic than actual breakups.

I'd spent my entire early twenties working for really good grades instead of actually living life - and what did I have to show for it? A degree that looked good on paper, and a nervous system that was completely falling apart.

I couldn't trust my own instincts, couldn't stand being alone with my thoughts, and despite working so hard to build this "perfect life," everything felt impossibly heavy.

I was drowning. And I had no idea how to save myself.

I know what it's like when you're operating from survival mode, feeling like you're completely failing at life, when everyone else seems to be in on some secret except you. When you're still trying even though nothing makes sense anymore.

When the System Failed Me Three Times

That breakdown was my wake-up call. The very system I'd dedicated my life to studying had failed me when I needed it most. Not once. Not twice. Three times.

Rejection #1: "You're Fine"

Age 17. I finally worked up the courage to see the school counselor. Ten minutes in, he told me I was doing amazingly—great grades, bright future, clearly fine.

What I hadn't mentioned? My dad had cancer and almost died six months earlier. But I had good grades, so I must be okay. Case closed.

Rejection #2: "Be Grateful"

Age 21. University counseling center. I dragged myself there barely holding it together. I had to fight just to get three appointments. THREE. And when I told her how badly I was doing? She said I wasn't depressed—just a bit stressed. And that was good because it made me study harder. In fact, I should be "grateful to come from Eastern Europe and have the opportunity to study in Western Europe." Translation: Your pain doesn't matter. Get back to work.

Rejection #3: "Try EMDR"

Age 26. I gave traditional therapy one more chance. I tried EMDR with a licensed specialist for over a year. I left slightly less traumatized in the end but during that year I was doing worse than ever. That's when I was done. Done with being told I was "fine" when I was drowning. Done with surface-level solutions that missed the point entirely. Done with a system that was supposed to help people but kept failing the ones who needed it most.

But here's the thing—I didn't want to give up. I didn't want to spend my entire life carrying that anger and pain.

So I made a commitment to myself: I will figure this out somehow.

The Plot Twist Nobody Saw Coming

At age 27 I became the person I never thought I'd be.

The rational, data-driven psychology graduate who used to roll her eyes at "alternative healing" was suddenly:

Flying to Bali for six months
Sitting in healing circles
Trying breathwork (while the academic in me secretly cringed)
Learning about energy work
Getting into astrology (which I'd laughed at my whole childhood)

Four years and way too much money later, I'd studied with over 10 different teachers. Became certified in yoga, meditation, ice bath facilitation, breathwork, and EFT.

And finally—finally—I discovered Rapid Resolution Therapy®.

The thing that actually changed everything. Not managed it. Not helped me "cope better." Not gave me tools to "sit with the discomfort."

Changed. Everything.

Here's What I Want You to Know

You're Not Broken. You're Just Stuck.

If you've tried therapy or other modalities and they didn't work, it's NOT because you're fundamentally flawed or not 'ready to heal'. I know it's very common to hear those conclusions, but think about it this way:

If you went to a dentist to fix a hole in your tooth, and instead of fixing it, he just talked about how painful it must be and made you come back week after week...

You'd think he was crazy, right?

In the mental health industry, we've been conditioned to expect things to take a long time. But it's not because mental health issues are inherently harder to fix.

It's because our understanding of how the human mind actually works has been... well, pretty misguided.

The "This Changes Everything" Moments

I've been studying Rapid Resolution Therapy for over 2 years now, completely rewired my own brain and have done the same for countless others.

Today?

I wake up excited about my life. I trust my instincts completely, I enjoy being alone with my thoughts, and that heavy feeling that used to follow me everywhere?

Gone.

The panic attacks, the relationship patterns, the constant self-doubt - all of it cleared when I found methods that actually work.

And my clients?

The 17-year-old who went from daily panic attacks to getting into her dream university.

The entrepreneur who built their dream freelance business after one breakthrough session.

The chronic pain sufferer who'd spent thousands on treatments that never worked—pain disappeared in our session.

The trauma survivor who, after decades of carrying it, looked up mid-session with confusion and relief: "It's gone. I can't find the feeling anymore."

The most common thing clients tell me after working together? "I can't feel the bad thing anymore, even though it was my identity for so long. I keep waiting for the pain to come back, but it's just... not there anymore."
